Here is my list of progressive music faves for the year 1971. My choice is the excellent and ground-breaking debut Passport album "Doldinger". Pick your favourite!

It has to be 'Tarkus' - just over Wyatt's last Soft Machine album.

Very nice, Doug, various I love here, but I can't not vote for Van der Graaf Generator's Pawn Hearts, which I think to be an incredible album.

If that weren't here, then I would have voted for Hawkwind's In Search Of Space. Aqualung is also awesome, I like Terje Rypdal and Collage very much, Passpprt/Doldinger Colloseum Live, The Yes Album. Soft Machine's Fourth....

I'm with you completely....

...apart from the fact that Colosseum Live literally drops my jaw...

frankly, there's an embarrassment of riches in this poll.. Cool

Pawn Hearts (but Aqualung is mighty close)

For several decades of love it's undoubtly Pawn Hearts, But if I'm only counting the last five or six years, I think my stongest relation is to the two first albums listed here (voted for Terje):

Terje Rypdal-Terje Rypdal
Soft Machine-Fourth
Van der Graaf Generator-Pawn Hearts
Jethro Tull-Aqualung
Le Orme-Collage
Passport-Doldinger

Love all of them though, and they're all perfect to my ears.

With the absence of my all time favourite album i.e 'Meddle' my vote goes to 'The Yes Album'.

Pawn Hearts. Buttery is not normally a word used to describe pants.

Some bangers on this list.

Yes album is the choice by a razor thin margin over The Inner Mounting Flame. ELP and Jethro Tull are not far behind the Mahavisnu Orchestra. Pawn Hearts is really good too.

Aqualung, but The Yes Album is at the same level. I could ever have voted for Pilgrimage.

I actually didn't notice that it was in the poll. It's one of my "comfort-prog" go-to albums.

Nothing surprising from me, Pawn Hearts > Aqualung.
